NYC security ramps up for July 4th, America 250 and World Cup weekend

New York City is preparing for a packed July 4th weekend, with America 250 events, Sail4th 250, Macy’s fireworks, a hot dog eating contest, a reported Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce wedding event at Madison Square Garden and a World Cup match at New York New Jersey Stadium. NYPD officials say there are no known threats, but security will be tight across the city, with officers coordinating with the Coast Guard and Navy for events on land, in the air and on the water. Officials are urging people to use mass transit and expect heavy crowds and gridlock.
